Our beloved and most dope pope is auctioning off his motorcycle and donating the proceeds to a local soup kitchen. So, in case you’re keeping track, he’s basically The Fonz at this point. (

The ad wizards over at NBC claimed they had a big Parks & Recreation surprise in store for us and then proceeded to tweet an image of that surprise. SURPRISE! You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means. (CLICK FOR NOT AT ALL BIG DEAL SPOILER)

This delightful hatchet job on The Da Vinci Code author Dan Brown emerged yesterday so you may have already seen it. But if you haven’t, oh, strap in and enjoy the snark. It’s the best literary evisceration I’ve seen in a while. (The Millions)

And we’ll leave Dan Brown there with his d*ck viscera in his hands and take a quick look at this ad campaign for a show that actually exists in 2014. Mothers-In-Law! AMIRITE?!

I’m not a fan of defacing books unless you’re a) destroying Dan Brown or b) making an amazing work of art. Actually, truth be told, b) still doesn’t really sit well with me, but I’ll make a teeny exception for this Smaug made of pages from The Hobbit. (LS)

Any of you still watching Glee may be upset to know that the second half of this season and the rest of the series will be set exclusively in New York. If that means no more Mr. Buttchin, great. If it means no Unique, New York? Booooo. How will they get Coach Sue to NYC, though? Through some of that patented, organic Glee storytelling magic, I’m sure. (Vulture)

Michael Douglas explains why he joined Ant-Man. It’s not for the money, he said, there’s another reason. You know, for kids! (CB)

You guys John Hawkes and Michael Cera are going to be Charlie Kaufman’s new comedy TV pilot. My manic pixie dream spleen just exploded with delight. (Variety)

I know a lot of you look down your noses at gifs, but here’s one that has actual intellectual value. No, really, I swear! (io9)

In keeping with the promise that Peter Capaldi won’t be a “good boyfriend” Doctor but, rather, a “
mad and dangerous and difficult” Doctor, here he is riding a stunt horse in a nightie.

More images of Peter F*cking Capaldi in a nightie can be found here. (Doctor WhoTV)

WHERE IS THE SHIA LEBEOUF RETIREMENT I WAS PROMISED? This nonsense is the Twitter equivalent of shaving your head and whacking things with an umbrella. When do we move from disgusted to concerned? (WG)

Tom Hiddleston, Mark “Low Winter Sun” Strong and Ben Kingsley are starring in a Jaguar Superbowl ad. There’s already an ad to get us ready for the ad. I. People…people. (AdWeek)

Joanna Robinson is keenly aware that b*tches like a number of things besides Loki such as football, the 49ers, wings, beer and other ladies. She by no means thinks that the only reason women would watch The Superbowl is because they want to see Loki. BUT IT DON’T HURT.
